The same arrangements will apply to pupils participating in high-performance, high-level or elite sports programmes.
  8. Pupils at the school will be given priority for vacant places offered at their own school when these are first-year Baccalaureate places in the streams that the school is authorised to teach, with the exception of the Arts stream, in both its pathways. If the number of pupils applying for the first year of the Baccalaureate in these streams exceeds the number of places available at the school, a place will be guaranteed at another school in the area, in accordance with the ranking order.
